Star Wars Homeschool Unit Study Full of Star Wars Fun

May the 4th is Star Wars Day and in October we have Star Wars Reads Day. We are only too happy to participate and add to the fun. We dug all around the Internet to bring you Star Wars activities, books, games, crafts, and much more.

May the 4th be with you 🙂 Couldn’t resist a little amusing geekiness there.

Star Wars Homeschool Unit Study

Star Wars has been around since May 25, 1977. I remember going to the movie when I was young and it was so different from other movies I had seen. I really enjoyed it.

Every once in a while we go through a Star Wars phase in our house. We watch the movies, listen to the music, read a few books, play with LEGO Star Wars sets, and yes, we have lightsaber duels as well. We also dive into all sorts of activities that get us learning a lot about math, science, and more. If you have a boy who loves Star Wars, this Star Wars homeschool unit study is just for him. Enjoy!

Star Wars Books

You cannot have a unit study without books and reading. Well, at least I don’t think you can! We love to read and these books are perfect for getting the low down on all things SW.

Star Wars Board Books

Here are a few books for the youngest of Star Wars fans. These are great for starting out or to keep your little ones occupied while you work with your older kids.

Star Wars Building Ideas

Get free building instructionsfrom Chris McVeigh for LEGO Star Wars Boba Fett’s Slave 1, Death Star, Millenium Falcon, and TIE Fighter ornaments. These could certainly be used for some Star Wars play as well. (See our Interview with Chris McVeigh for more of his creations and to hear what he has to say about learning and LEGO.)

Star Wars Activities:

Make your very own play lightsaber with pool noodles. Directions here Great project! Super easy and really gets the boys moving.

If you want something a little different you could make the sturdier version of a lightsaber with pvc pipe and a pool noodle–I like that this one has an easier to hang on to handle but bet it would hurt more when you got hit with it too. Hope you like it.

Plus there is a small pencil version of a lightsaber here for giving out on May 4th or perhaps for Valentine’s day or, of course, you could just make them because they are neat.

Star Wars Learning Ideas

This is where a homeschool unit study really pays off. Lots of fun and learning at the same time!

Could a Star Wars Lightsaber really be made? Do shields stand a chance against blasters?

TIE Fighter treats, Yoda cake pops, and my personal fav–the lightsaber pretzel sticks and more are found over at the Pretty Providence Blog. Worth taking a look at.

Star Wars Music

This is an awesome Star Wars music and sound board that you can make mini recordings on. There are characters, weapons, vehicles, music and more and you get to select sound clips from each and make your own combination to play and share.

While you are having fun doing Star Wars stuff, why not play some Star Wars sound tracks from Pandora in the background.

Did you like this homeschool unit study? Remember unit studies are not just for homeschoolers, they are a great way to cover a topic, learn and have some fun too.

If I find anything else that just must be added to this, I will update it.
